great today. Good viz, reasonable water temp and not very crowded. A.J. Shark, ckharlan66 and I went there today to try out drysuits. A.J. Shark was not in a dry suit but was there to watch ckharlan66 and I make fools out of ourselves. Overall it wasn't to bad and A.J. didn't die of laughter after all.
One noticeable benefit to the dry suit was the lack of the cold water immersion diuresis effect.
One noticeable downside to the drysuit was the amount of drag compared to a 3 mil wetsuit. Bouyancy control was off for me, mostly due to overweighting IMHO. I'll remove 4 lbs on the next dive and hopefully more when I become more familiar with the dry suit.
If the weather continues to be nice, we should have very nice water conditions for the Halloween dive event.
